Contributing to Society Through Vehicle Manufacturing That Satisfies Customer Expectations
Dramatic decreases in demand in the global automotive market resulting from the economic
recession originating from the U.S. financial crisis of 2008 saw unprecedented expansion of vehicle
production to more than 75 million units in 2010 in new market countries, such as China. With such
demand continuing to recover, record sales gained further momentum in newly developing countries
which made up 50% of worldwide new vehicle sales. Moreover, against a backdrop of heightened
awareness of environmental issues, competition to develop environmentally-oriented vehicles is now
severe with rising crude oil prices and systems of preferential taxation in countries throughout the
world. For us at Toyota Auto Body as well, a central management concern hereafter is our awareness
of “business expansion overseas” and “development of environmental technology” which centers
on newly developing countries.
The Toyota Auto Body 2020 vision calls for “aiming to be a complete vehicle manufacturer, adding
specially-equipped vehicles and welfare vehicles to our core of commercial vehicles, minivans, and
SUVs. Toyota Auto Body, mainly responsible for the product range in development and production
within the Toyota Group, has secured market share and displayed our strength domestically; however,
we have not yet fully reached overseas in regions with greatly expected future market growth.
In 2011, we at Toyota Auto Body further strengthened activities for initiating market research of
markets in newly-developing countries in Central and South America, Africa, the Association of South
East Asian Nations(ASEAN), and China by progressing with creation of a system that allows making
proposals, grasping customer needs, and swiftly planning products.
We further combine these activities with continuously calling on our employees to “better know the
world” in order to achieve heightened global awareness.
In providing quality products at reasonable prices, we must further localize production. Even though
our first North American base of production will begin production this fall, we will strengthen our
coordination with Toyota Motor Corporation and business base abroad where markets grow.
Takuji AmiokaPresident,Toyota Auto Body Co., Ltd.

■Top Message
In addition, with the need to further develop environmental technology amidst severe global
competition in which it is not possible to survive, it is imperative to progress with improvement
efforts and technologic developments in all processes ranging from raw materials to methods of
manufacturing. Toyota Auto Body is directing efforts into creating plants which harmonize with
nature and coexist with our communities in progressing to reduce CO2 and save energy during
production. We are also making efforts to research and develop very small electric next generation
models and plant materials with the aim to become carbon neutral. Our efforts also promote
planned light-weight vehicle bodies to meet more stringent mid-to long-term environmental
regulations in Europe and other regions.
Great damage resulted from the March 2011 the Great East Japan Earthquake. We at Toyota
Auto Body Group are doing all we can to provide support those who suffered in the quake and
ensuing tsunami, and we genuinely seek a rapid recovery for the safety of all people in the
disaster areas. The strength of Japanese to assist one another was strongly felt in this disaster.
We at Toyota Auto Body firmly believe Japan will overcome such unprecedented challenges.
Industry is said to be a public institution of our society. Indeed, Toyota Auto Body provides a
useful service in society, and we will hereafter provide vehicles which meet our expectations, as
well as those of the elderly, the handicapped, and our customers throughout the world in looking
to continue as a corporation needed by society.
We at Toyota Auto Body have compiled this CSR report for our CSR activities to be understood
by many in society. We welcome and appreciate all opinions concerning our efforts.

■Corporate Philosophy
Corporate Governance
Fundamental Thinking
We at Toyota Auto Body, in raising our fundamental principles of open and fair business activities,
look to improve corporate value through strengthening competition and continuous business
growth, and we also aim to contribute to society which trusts us. To realize these principles, we
place importance on achieving and strengthening corporate governance and we are making
efforts toward personnel development in constructing a sound corporate culture and pursuing
continuous improvement of the system that secures proper business execution.
Establishing Independent Members to Enhance Management Transparency
The arrival of the introduction of an executive member system at Toyota Auto Body allows for swift
decision making in business strategy development and accelerating operations. In addition, we
have established various committees within Toyota Auto Body for enhancing management
transparency in fulfilling our corporate responsibilities. These committees execute monitoring and
discussion concerning management methods and corporate action.
Toyota Auto Body is using an auditing system for managerial monitoring. In June 2010, we
appointed one independent auditing member from among auditors in order to enhance
transparency.

■Corporate Philosophy
Compliance
Thorough Compliance and Improved Awareness
The “Corporate Ethics Committee” has been established as a subordinate CSR committee, which unifies Toyota Auto Body Group corporate action. Toyota Auto Body is executing the monitoring and discussion for activities in looking to construct a sound corporate culture and a complete system for observing laws.
Revision and Impact of “Our Priorities” and Rooting of Activities
In aiming to revolutionize human awareness, we revised the “Our Priorities” (Basic MAP), which indicates our stance in measuring awareness in ways of thinking on the job, our actions, and daily administration.
In order to link realistic education (self-development) through work, we at Toyota Auto Body have reviewed easily understandable content, and have worked toward achieving methods which allow use of self-checks for one’s own actions, which are introduced through portable pamphlets distributed to all employees.
In addition, our top management is holding a “Top Management Lecture” for all deputy managers in order to transmit the spirit of “Our Priorities.”Hereafter, the workplace wil l continue to be a pivotal place for responsible workplace managers to continue to introduce an understanding of the importance of transmitting and spreading this spirit.
Establishment of a Corporate Ethics Advisory Service
We at Toyota Auto Body have a system that allows for appropriate handling of matters challenging
to consult with superiors and colleagues concerning labor issues, compliance, and issues of
concern. In addition, we have established an external legal advisory “Compliance Hotline”.

We at Toyota Auto Body offer our sincerest condolences for those who lost their lives and for those affected by the suffering as they recover in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake. We in the Toyota Auto Body Group are offering all possible support and we hope for a rapid recovery in the disaster area.
The Toyota Auto Body Response to the Great East Japan Earthquake
Production Recovery Efforts
Swift Responses From Our Earthquake Disaster Countermeasure Meeting
From the Great East Japan Earthquake that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, at all Toyota Group companies, including Toyota Auto Body, was halted from March 14th. In the midst of the disaster, from March 17, we placed priority on resuming production of supply parts for vehicles in need of repair used in recovery efforts and the disaster area. In addition, in order to assure operation at overseas plants, we resumed part production. Thereafter, in considering part supply status from our disaster-effected suppliers, we resumed production from April 18th with complete-vehicle production done in one daytime shift four days a week at all Toyota Group plants. In May, plants operated five days a week, and in June, we were able to return to the same levels of production prior to the disaster by operating under a two-shift production system.
With so many customers waiting due to decreased vehicle supply immediately following the disaster, our mission is to give every effort to production that allows expediting vehicle delivery to our customers.
In order to construct a system that allows for immediate judgment and decision making and for swift information collecting after the earthquake disaster, we at Toyota Auto Body set up an Earthquake Disaster Countermeasure Committee from March 14th. President Amioka chaired the committee and directors and managers from every department including development, production technology, production, and administration met to deliberate concerning disaster recovery, and also confirm employee and family safety, the status of all of Toyota Motor Corporation, and our supplier status. Toyota Auto Body came together in their daily efforts toward recovery.
Plant Efforts
Our plants made efforts toward improvement and education in strengthening plant production in resuming complete-vehicle production. In addition, we made several changes, such as setting non-work days for adjusting our operation down time.
Support and Disaster-Affected Suppliers
The various affects of this earthquake disaster on our extensive supply network not only impacted our direct suppliers, but also suppliers of raw materials and component parts. Toyota Auto Body, upon examining the entire supply network for each part and material, confirmed 103 supply-related issues and moved forward in transitioning to alternative parts in concerned internal departments. Supply issues were resolved in June.
Furthermore, we progressed in recovering production with our suppliers. Through minute adjustments we were able to manage financing for disaster-hit suppliers. Hereafter, efforts to maintain a system of stable procurement beginning will continue by reexamining our part and material supply network in learning from this earthquake disaster.

Weight Savings of 40% Achieved Through Making Large, Resin Molded Parts PossibleIn panorama roofs, we are using lightweight polycarbonate which has superior insulating properties. Materials in shapes that are a challenge to manufacture are made possible through technologies such as injection compression molding and hard coating. This has created weight savings of approximately 40% (approximately 8kg) over glass previously used. These weight savings are coupled with a rolling sunshade, which acts to limit rises in cabin temperature, which in turn reduces the need for air conditioner use and subsequent resulting efficiency losses.

Deepening Human Rights AwarenessIn looking to realize “respect of individuals” , we are implementing human rights education for enl ightenment act iv i t ies and also for new employees and executives.In addition, our efforts to resolve human rights issues begin with antidiscrimination issues through participation in the “Aichi Human Rights Enlightenment Corporate Liaison Meeting” and also outside agency training and courses with the aim to educate personnel who instruct for company human rights enlightenment activities.
Efforts for Human Respect in the WorkplaceIn our Toyota Auto Body human rights education, we are working to research the sense of human rights for employees in taking up concrete events violating human rights in everyday l i fe in the company for such as sexual harassment, power harassment, and unpleasant words.In addition, we are making efforts to improve s ing le-employee dormi to r ies and the work environment to allow the physically and mentally challenged to participate independently in society and also promote mutual understanding between society and those challenged.

Achieving Child Raising SupportIn FY2010, Toyota Auto Body introduced a “Maternal Leave System” for female employees as a way to work during their maternity period. This system acts to protect motherhood by allowing women employees to take time off until their maternity leave for those who face challenges in working during their pregnancy. We are working to realize a work life balance that considers going beyond established law by making it possible to balance working methods and work times at each stage of pregnancy, childbirth, and child rearing.
